Breast Party organizer

For the past 5 years, Kathy McKenna and her group of friends have organized the Breast Party, a word-of-mouth fundraiser that has generated over $50,000 to date for breast cancer research and awareness programs.

“Not bad for a group of friends who just love boobs,” jokes the University of Waterloo math and business graduate who has also been a volunteer site coordinator for the CIBC Run for the Cure in Toronto for 9 years.

Kathy says she encourages her friends and family to throw parties of their own for a cause they care about. “Fundraising doesn’t have to be boring – it can also be a lot of fun,” says the Artez account manager. Working with clients to share creative best practices is a natural fit for Kathy, given all her own experience. As the saying goes, it’s best to do what you love.
